H. M. JONES, 

in tlie office of tlie Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. 



P R K KAC K 



As a member of the Metropolitan Police Force of St. 
Louis for the past nine years, I have been favored with the 
best possible opportunity to acquire a thorough knowledge 
of the city, and to locate such places as are usually sought 
for by strangers, whether here on business or for pleasure. 

Moreover the growth and improvements of St. Louis 
have gone far beyond the knowledge of even the oldest and 
most active resident, and not unfrequently are officers called 
upon for directions to various points by that class. I have 
therefore carefully pi'epared this Book with a view to 
covering the whole ground for all classes. It has been the 
chief object cf my labor to make the Guide as complete and 
perfect in all respects as it is possible to have such a work. 
Careful attention has been paid to every feature, even to 
the advertisements in which is presented a full exposition 
of the largest and best business interests of the city. Not 
only will strangers find it an invaluable vade mecuni in 
their tour of St. Louis, assisting them in their sight-seeing, 
and enabling them to traverse our streets with almost the 
same ease as an old resident, but citizens already acquain- 
ted with many of the points of interest around them will be 
surprised to learn that there are numerous new objects here 
for their attention. The Guide will be revised annually 
and in each new edition such corrections and addenda will 
be made as the general progress of this great metropolis 
demands. 

Truly Yours, 

H. M. JONES, 

Patrolman Metropolitan Police Force.

INSTRUCTIONS 



-»o>©4o 



I. Locate yourself by reference to City Map on last page 
of the Book. 

II. The Business Index has reference to cuts and adver- 
tisements of business establishments, which can readily be 
located by turning to list of streets intersected by street 
cars. 

III. For Residences refer to City Directory (which can 
be found in almost every store) for house number, and 
turn to street list, as above instructed to locate, and take 
street cars according to directions. Conductors will 
always explain to strangers their most convenient route 
when leaving the car. 



STEEETS A^T> NUMBEES. 

It is a very easy matter for the stranger to find any 
person or place he may be in search of in St. Louis. He 
can find the person by consulting the city directory, which 
will be found in all drug stores and business houses. When 
he has the address of the party he must bear in mind these 
facts : 

All streets running parallel with the river have numerical 
names, and these names are given in numerical order as the 
streets recede westward from the river ; thus Second street 
is two blocks from Ihe wharf, Fourth street four blocks, and 
Twenty-fifth street, twenty-five blocks from it. In the 
western portion of the city, a street will occasionally be 
found bearing some other than a numerical name. In such 
instances consult the city directory, and you will find 
the number of that street. Say it is Leffingwell avenue 
you want, the directory will tell you Leffingwell avenue 
runs from 2801 Laclede avenue, north to 2800 Dodier street. 
By this means, you arrive at the information that Leffing- 
well avenue is twenty-eight blocks from the river and its 
other name is Twenty-eighth street. 

Market street and Laclede avenue, divide the city into 
North and South, and the cross streets are numbered ac- 
cordingly, North Fourth, North Ninth, South Fourth, 
South Ninth, etc. 

The odd numbers are oh the north and west sides of 
the streets ; the even numbers on the south and east sides. 



8 Police Guide and Directory op St. Louis. 

Each block on all streets counts 100 numbers, although 
the number of buildings on that block may be two or 
twenty. For instance, 1109 Market street is only 11 blocks 
from the river, or between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, 
and 307 north Fourth street is only three blocks north of 
Market street. 

The number of the street will immediately and unmis- 
takably explain your location. If you are at the corner of 
Jefferson and Franklin avenues you will see the number 
900 over a door on the former street, which means you are 

9 blocks north of Market, and the number 2400 over a 
door on Franklin avenue, which means that you are just 24 
blocks west of the river. 

If you are in doubt about your ability to get back to 
your starting point consult a policeman. 



A GLIMPSE AT THE HISTORY OF 
ST. LOUIS. 



The first St. Louis, an early French settlement on the 
west bank of the great Mississippi, and upon the present 
site of this splendid metropolis, was founded February 
15th, 1764, when August Chouteau, whose descendants 
still live among us, proceeded, under the directions of 
Laclede, a French fur trader, to fell the forest and clear off 
the ground which now embraces several blocks of large 
business buildings, in the vicinity of Barnum's Hotel, Sec- 
ond and Walnut Streets. Upon this spot the first huts 
that marked the approach of civilization in this region were 
erected, and a permanent Trading Post was established. 
Laclede gave it the name of St. Louis, in honor of the king 
of France — Louis XV — then upon the Throne. But it was 
not until the year 1804 — 28 years after the Declaration of 
American Independence, and when it had become a part 
of the territory of the United States — that the old trading 
post began to assume its real importance. The irresistible 
onward march of American civilization, building towns 
and cities upon the camp grounds and play places of the 
so-called " noble red men," soon extended westward, across 
the Mississippi, and St. Louis became the central rendez- 
vous for the hardy pioneer. In 1823 St. Louis was incor- 
porated as a city, and she has steadily maintained her 
growth up to her present magnificence and round popula- 
tion of nearly 500,000 souls. 



10 Police Guide and Directory of St. Louis. 

In 1815 the first steamboat was launched upon the besom 
of the gorgeous Mississippi, and a better system of transfer 
was established. This enterprise has grown with the city 
and its surroundings, until to-day 155 boats, of various ton- 
nage, operate from the St. Louis wharf to all points up 
and down the great Father of Waters, and penetrate 
various sections of the country by way of its tributaries. 

The first railroad constructed west of the Mississippi was 
the Missouri Pacific, and the first train of cars went thun- 
dering westward to the State Capital November 1, 1855, 
and the Ohio and Mississippi, the first railroad from the 
East, reached East St. Louis in 1853. But the present 
grand railroad system of St. Louis was inaugurated in 
1876-7, which has since linked us, so to speak, with every 
town and city of any importance in the entire country and 
various points in Mexico. 

With 155 steamboats constantly plowing the great water 
ways with which we are connected, with 18 railroads run- 
ning an average of 200 passenger and 184 freight trains 
daily, and from a glance at the tables which represent our 
commercial attitude, one cannot refrain from the belief that 
St. Louis is indeed a great city. 

But we cannot dismiss you with this belief alone : we 
urge that St. Louis will one day be the greatest commer- 
cial center on the face of the earth. One development 
alone is necessary to this end — and it is one which should 
govern and direct the social, political and commercial influ- 
ence of every citizen of the central and western sections of 
the country to its accomplishment —

the landing of ocean steamers at our wharf. 

No thinking man will dispute the statement that with the 
permanent fitness of the Mississippi channel from St. Louis 
to the gulf for the operation of ocean steamers from our 
wharf to every seaport in the world, this point will drain 
a far greater expanse of agricultural, mining and manufac- 
turing country than any other commercial centre under the 
sun, affording an irresistible attraction for business enter- 
prise which will collect the largest population in all this 
bustling world.

TRADE & COMMERCE OF ST. LOUIS. 



The age of the city of St. Louis is by no means an 
indication of the power it wields and the important part it 
plays in the great world of commerce. It seems as if it 
were truly destined to be the Future Great city of the 
continent. Its arms of iron and steel stretch out to the 
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, to the great lakes of the north 
and to the Gulf of Mexico. It lies in the center of a most 
fruitful valley and is the depot for all the rich resources of 
an immense territory, whose products are boundless in their 
abundance. Its prosperity is unmistakable, and all the 
capitalists of the world bend their eyes upon it and read in 
its present affluence a promise of the most extraordinary 
fruitfulness. 

The visitor will find in the following pages a most 
interesting exposition of the trade and commerce of the 
city, which are the guide posts to its future. The figures 
are taken from the report of Secretary Geo. H. Moro^an 
(of the Merchants' Exchange) for the year 1883. 

COAL 

Is an important item of its wealth, as will be seen in the 
statement of the receipts and shipments of this product. 
The figures given show the great growth in this branch of 
commerce between the years 1878 and 1883. 

In 1878 the coal received here amounted to 32,007,550 
bushels. In 1883 the amount was 50,687,225 bushels, of 
which 1,857,600 bushels were received from Pittsburg; 
receipts of coke, 6,956,500 bushels ; receipts of Anthracite, 
52,000 tons.

FREIGHT. 

The increase in freight transportation in the past ten 
years is here shown. It has nearly doubled. The amounts 
given are in tons :

In addition to the receipts of 1883 there were 228,950 
tons of lumber, logs and shingles in rafts received from the 
Upper Mississippi and 2,335 from the Upper Missouri 
river. 

The amount of freight, in tons, shipped from St. Louis 
by railroad and river in the same years, was as follows :

1,230,676 
707,325 



1,938,001 



In this same connection an estimate may be given of 
the amount of traffic across the Mississippi at St. Louis. 
From St. Louis to East St. Louis and Venice, by bridge, 
ferries and teams, 1,762,824 tons were transferred during 
1883, and from East St. Louis and Venice to St. Louis, by 
the same highways during the same time, a total of 4,118,- 
052 tons were carried. 

ELEVATORS. 

Before introducing the important subject of the grain 
and flour traffic of this city, it will be well to say something 
in conjunction with our freight traffic concerning the Eleva- 
tors and their capacities for receiving and storing grain ; 



Police Guide and Directory of St. Louis.

also, to give the stranger to these subjects, an idea of the 
rates charged for storage by the various Elevators. There 
are thirteen of these immense buildings, some situated near 
Union Depot, and the others along the river front on either 
side. Their capacities are enormous, and they are con- 
stantly kept filled with the product of the surrounding ter- 
ritory. They employ large forces of men and are among 
the most profitable investments in this neighborhood. A 
better conception of their value will be had by reference to 
the following table :

FLOUR. 

St. Louis holds the proud reputation of being the hirgest 
primary flour market in the United States. The business 
for 1883 in this important item shows a falling off in some 
particulars. The amount manufactured was slightly in 
excess of 1882, but the receipts were considerably less than 
for the previous year. Whde other cities show by their 
published returns of receipts and shipments a greater 
amount handled, these returns include flour merely passing 
through these cities, and do not give a correct index of the 
flour trade at these points. The export business fell off 
considerably, especially after harvest, the high price of 
wheat putting flour at a price which curtailed greatly the 
foreign demand. The exports of the year from St. Louis 
and from country points by St. Louis dealers amounted to 
595,603 bbls., of which 252,322 bbls. went to England, 
139,004 bbls. to Scotland, 41,361 bbls. to Ireland, and the 
balance to the Continent, with the exception of 10,663 bbls. 
to Nova Scotia. 

Two new mills were built during the year, the Plant's 
Roller A and the Meramec, and the capacity of others 
increased, giving a capacity per 24 hours of 13,095 bbls. 

The amount manufactured in 1883 was 1,892,633 bbls., 
and was only exceeded by Minneapolis, which produced 
3,996,220 bbls. 

The flour manufactured by mills outside of St. Louis, but 
owned by St. Louis members of the Merchant's Exchange > 
was 1,003,330 bbls. 

The amount received here by millers during the year was 
1,585,670 bbls. 

The receipts and manufactures for 33 years, and ship- 
ments for 19 years are given in the following table :

total was 4,240,217 barrels. 

GRAIN. 

The total receipts of grain at St. Louis during 1883, in 
bushels, was as follows: Wheat, 15,000,704; corn, 
20,001,450; oats, 6,452,757; rye, 532,270 ; barley, 2,860," 
798. 

The total shipments of grain in bushels for the same 
period were: Wheat, 6,430,765; corn, 15,199.849; oats, 
3,047,559 ; rye, 393,557 ; barley, 180,900. 

COTTON. 

St. Louis feels a glory in her trade in Cotton. It has 
made rapid strides in the past 17 years and the market to-day 
has an agreeable importance among the other cotton markets

of the world. The business of 1883 was surpassingly large 
and a cause of great gratification. The gross receipts ex- 
ceed last year by 87,279 bales, and the net receipts reaching 
296,760 bales against 240,517 bales during 1881-82. The 
bulk of the receipts came from Texas and Arkansas by the 
lines of the Missouri Pacific R. R. , while the receipts from 
the Texas & St. Louis R. R. over the Cairo Short Line 
were 13,684 bales. By the San Francisco line the receipts 
were 10,486 bales, and by boats from the lower river 9,121 
bales. 

The Texas & St. Louis was completed and we may 
expect a large increase in receipts by that line during 1884. 
To accommodate the business by this route the St. Louis 
Cotton Compress Company erected during the year a ware- 
house and press at East St. Louis with a storage capacity 
of 40,000 bales. 

The shipments of the year reached 444,472 bales, of 
which 168,652 bales was taken by export buyers, princi- 
pally for the English market, and 274,055 bales went to 
the eastern manufacturing cities. The value of the 296,760 
bales sold in this market was fifteen millions of dollars. 

The following table shows the receipts of Cotton for 
the past 17 years:

LIVE STOCK. 

To this city, by reason of its central location and its 
manifold transportation facilities, belongs the live stock 
trade of the conntry. It is the shortest possible route from 
the West to the East, and is admirably equipped for doing 
the business of the entire cattle territory south of central 
Iowa. Its stock yards have a capacity for -nearly 30,000 
head, while the pork packing houses, located in them, kill 
about 12,000 hogs daily in the season. 

Secretary Morgan's report for 1883 gives the following 
receipts and shipments in St. Louis in the live stock line 
during that year, and adds regarding the business that there 
was a material increase in the receipts of hogs, and some 
gain in the receipts of horses and mules over previous years : 

Receipts: cattle, 405,090; hogs, 1,151,785; sheep, 
398,612 ; horses and mules, 44,913. 

Shipments; cattle, 249,523; hogs, 609,388; sheep, 
217,370 ; horses and mules, 44,543. 

Receipts of hog product for 1883 : pork, 9^656 bbls. ; 
ham and meats, 119,365,201 lbs. ; lard, 9,975,552 lbs. 

Shipments of hog product for 1883: pork, 75,239 bbls.; 
hams and meats, 163,150,959 lbs. ; lard, 43,740,073 lbs. 

TOBACCO. 

The receipts of leaf tobacco during 1883 amounted to 
24,457 hhds. 

The shipments of leaf tobacco during 1883 were 8,683 
hhds. 

In 1871 the receipts were 16,523 hhds, and the shipments 
11,243 hhds. 



UWIOINJ" DEPOT. 

Union Depot is on the south side of Poplar street 
between Ninth and Twelfth streets. All trains arriving in 
or departing from St. Louis make this their terminus. It 
is the only depot in the United States where the through 
passenger on whatever route bent can step from one train 
to another and proceed on his journey without the annoy- 
ance and delay of an omnibus transfer. Still, it is not an 
imposing structure, nor is it in any sense a metropolitan 
depot. The trains centering here are sheltered under a 
series of large sheds, and often the passenger has to cross a 
half dozen tracks and trains to get to the coach and train 
he is after. Adjoining the sheds on the north is a two- 
story brick building of neat appearance, in vv^hich are the 
ticket offices, baggage rooms, lunch counters, dining hall 
and all the other departments familiar to travelers. 

The building and sheds were put up by a company 
organized in 1871 for the purpose of establishing "a union 
passenger depot and tunnel in St. Louis." The tunnel has 
been established. It begins at Eighth and Clark avenue, 
runs under Eighth street to St. Charles, where it curves 
into Washington avenue, beneath vv^hich it passes until it 
debouches upon the Illinois and St. Louis bridge at Main 
street. The present depot, however, is only a temporary 
structure — at least so it is claimed — and there is an occa- 
sional local agitation about tearing it down and replacing 
it with such a structure as the city deserves. 

Over 150 passenger trains arrive here and depart daily, 
carrying over 15,000 passengers. About 100 freight trains 
also pass under the sheltering sheds every day. 

Police are always at hand here and can be consulted 
for information. 

The street cars running north on the Twelfth street 
bridge carry passengers to Fourth and Pine. Then they 
are in the business portion of the city. All the railroad 
ticket offices are on Fourth street between Pine and Chest- 
nut.

THE BRIDGE. 




The grand structure which spans the Mississippi River 
at this point, and is known as the Big Bridge, was planned 
by the famous engineer, Capt. James B. Eads, who built 
the jetties, and conceived the idea of the ship railway across 
the Isthmus of Panama. It was inaugurated July 4th, 1874. 
The Bridge begins at 3d and Washington Avenue, and the 
eastern approach extends to Broadway in East St. Louis- 
Its length, including the approaches, is 6,220 feet, but the 
Bridge proper measures only 2,046 feet. Tunnel, Bridge 
and approaches measure 11,100 feet. The length of the 
center span is 520 feet, and of each side span 502 feet. The 
middle span is 55 feet above high-water mark, the side spans 
50 feet. The arches are built of steel tubes. The estimated 
cost of the structure was $10,000,000. A good view of it 
can be had from the levee, and a fair idea of its strength 
and immensity can be had by making a trip across it. The 
view it affords up and down the river is extensive and 
beautiful, while from its center arch East St. Louis and the 
surrounding suburbs can be seen, while a splendid bird's 
eye view of St. Louis is furnished.

each way. 

BAGGAGE REGULATIONS. 

All baggage received at Union Depot is stored in the 
baggage rooms at the east end of the depot building. The 
time allotted to such storage is 24 hours. Baggage left 
there over 24 hours will be charged for at the rate of 25 
cents per day. 

Valises, hand satchels, baskets and bundles may be 
left in a room provided for that purpose in the gentlemen's 
waiting room. A charge of 10 cents is made for each 
package. 

In every case where luggage of any kind is left at the 
depot care should be taken to receive a brass check for the 
articles. This check must not be lost, as the article or 
articles stored will be returned only on presentation of the 
check. 

Under no consideration leave overcoats, hand satchels 
or bundles in the care of unauthorized parties, as they may 
be lost, when there is no remedy. 

If you can not "check" or store your articles carry 
them with you, by all means. 



PoLiCK Guide and Directory of St. Louis. 29 

OMNIBUS, CARRIAGE & EXPRESS CHARGES. 

At Union Depot the stranger can suit himself about 
the style of vehicle he wishes to ride in. Carriages, 
Omnibuses and express and baggage wagons can be found 
along Poplar street, while street cars running down town 
pass over the Twelfth street bridge. 

The cars will take him into the business centre for five 
cents. This is the uniform charge on all horse car lines in 
the city. 

The Transfer Company's carriages and busses will 
deliver a passenger to any part of the city for fifty cents, 
and if tickets are purchased on the train, passenger and 
baggage are carried for this sum. The company's agents 
pass through each incoming train, and when a buss ticket 
is purchased from one of them he takes the passenger's bag- 
gage check, gives a duplicate of it, and there is no more 
trouble. Both are promptly delivered to the same address. 

Express or Baggage wagon and hack charges are regu- 
lated by the following city ordinance : 

" For the use of any hackney carriage, cab, or cabriolet, 
the owner shall be entitled to charge, demand and receive 
the following compensation, and no more : 

'"'•First — For conveying one or more passengers a dis- 
tance not exceeding one mile, one dollar." 

" Second — All public carriages, cabs and cabriolets 
shall be entitled to charge and collect two dollars for the first 
hour, and one dollar and a half for each additional hour." 

"Every owner, driver, or other person, having charge 
of any hackney, carriage, or other vehicle, who shall 



30 Police Guide and Directory of St. Louis. 

extort, exact, charge, demand, or receive as compensation, 
any sum for the use or hire of an}' such vehicle, exceeding 
the compensation allowed by ordinance, shall be deemed 
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, be 
fined not less than $100, and, in addition thereto, the license 
of such vehicle, in whosoever's name the same may have 
been granted, shall be declared forfeited to the use of the 
city." 

" The owner or driver of any dray or baggage wagon, 
shall be entitled to demand and receive, for ten blocks, forty 
cents ; for any distance over ten blocks, the charge shall be 
according to agreement ; if there is no agreement, the charge 
shall be at the rate of forty cents for every ten blocks. 

In explanation, it may be added, that a mile in the city 
varies from thirteen to fifteen blocks. 



AERIYAL AND DEPAETURE OF 
TRAII^S. 

All departing trains leave Union Depot at the time 
given in the accompanying time-table. Ten minutes later 
they stop to take on passengers at the Main Street Depot 
on the bridge. A halt is made here by incoming trains 
also, to allow passengers wishing to go immediately into 
the business portion of the city, to disembark. Occasional 
changes are made in the railroad time-table, but these will 
be less frequent now since the adoption of the standard 
time. Anyhow, the changes are so slight that by getting 
to the depot ten or fifteen minutes before the time here 
given it will be impossible to miss your train. The present 
time-table went into effect Sept. 8, 1884. It is as follows :

accommodation of persons from, or going, a short distance, 
or without much baggage. In nearly every instance, 
travelers should take cars at the Union Depot. 

Iron Mountain Railroad Depot — At Fourth street and 
Chouteau avenue ; principally for passengers to Caronde- 
let ; trains almost hourly. Starting point at the Union 
Depot for all travelers going long distances south and 
southwest.

DEPAETUEE OF STEAMBOATS. 

The wharf extends along the river front south of the 
Bridge. Over 150 steamboats use this harbor, and although 
the busy scenes of 20 years ago are absent, still the levee is 
full of bustle, and large quantities of freight are handled by 
the hundreds of men employed in that w^ork. 

The City Directrix, by which the stage of the water in 
the Mississippi is measured, will be found at the foot of 
Market street. It is a graduated iron rod running from the 
river bed up the levee to the railroad tracks.

HOTELS AE^D THEIR EATES. 

The complaint urged against St. Louis some years ago 
tiiat its hotel accommodations were entirely inadequate in 
large emergencies, can be urged no longer. The city has 
now two of the finest hotels in the United States, and the 
corridor of the new Southern surpasses anything of the kind 
to be found in this country. Rates are as reasonable as 
elsewhere, and guests, particularly in the large caravansaries, 
have their comforts carefully looked after. The "principal 
hotels and their rates are as follows : 




Southern — On Walnut street, and Fourth and Broad- 
way and Elm streets, one square south of Court House, and 
opposite Olympic Theatre on Broadway. Rates, $3.00 to 
$5.00 per day.

Rates, $2.00 to $3 50 per day.

streets (European). Rates, 75 cts. to $1 50 per day. 

In every instance, the rates given are for transients. 
Arrangements for permanent board can be made at a 
reduced figure at such hotels as accommodate permanent 
boarders. 



EESTAURAI^TS. 

THEIR CHARGES. 

There are plenty of good restaurants in the city, the rates 
are very reasonable, and the viands all that could be desired. 
Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. regular dinners, 
consisting of soup, fish, meat, vegetables, and tea or coffee 
may be obtained at from 25 to 50 cents. Dinner a la carte 
that is when special orders are given range from 35 cents to 
$1.00. The large number of clubs organized and existing 
in St. Louis, has reduced the number of high-priced 
restaurants, and the few now existing are not located in the 
business centre. By naming a few of the principal houses, 
the reader will gain some conception of the prices he will 
have to pay for his meals^ and the place best suited to his 
patronage : 

Tony Faust's, northeast corner of Broadway and Elm 
street, meals a la carte from 35 cents upward. 

Barchi's, Washington avenue between Fourth and Broad- 
way, meals a la carte. A good dinner for 50 cents. 

Browning's, Washington avenue between Fourth street 
and Broadway. Dinner 25 cents. 

English Kitchen, Broadway near Chestnut street. Dinner 
35 cents.

25 cents.

LODGII^GS. 

The traveler who is in search of a night's lodging only? 
can obtain it at any of the hotels at reasonable rates, the 
prices ranging from fifty cents for a bed in one of the third- 
class houses, to two dollars in such hotels as the Lindell or 
Southern. Scattered all over the city, however, are lodg- 
ing houses where rooms may be rented by the night or 
week. These will be found in the central portion of the 
city, along Sixth and Seventh and on Market, Chestnut, 
Pine and Locust, as well as in the neighborhood of the 
Union Depot. In selecting such lodgings, the stranger 
must be careful to inquire from the policeman on the beat, 
the character of the house, as often " Furnished Rooms" 
signs are displayed on the fronts of houses of ill repute. 

A bed may be had in a good clean lodging house for as 
low as twenty-five cents, but it is seldom the traveler is for- 
tunate in his selection of such cheap lodgings. The ruling 
price is fifty cents for a night's lodging, and at this price, 
good accommodations may be expected. 

The stranger is by all means warned against entering 
the establishments which offer beds at ten, fifteen and 
twenty cents a night. They are patronized only by unfor- 
tunates, and are neither clean nor safe in any sense. 

If a stay of any length is comtemplated, arrangements 
can be made in good lodging houses within the area 
bounded by Sixth and Fourteenth streets, and Clark and 
Franklin avenues, for a room which can be had at from 
$1.50 to $5.00 per week, or at the rate of from fifty to 
seventy-five cents per day for less than a week. 

It will be found wise for the stranger to consult the 
policeman who walks the beat within which the lodging 
house is composed before entering into any negotiation for 
a room. This precaution will prevent mistakes that might 
be'costly.

is thoroughly fireproof. The lower floor is given up to 
the Post Oftice, which is open until 9 p. m. daily, except 
Sunday. The tunnel passes alongside the basement on the 
Eighth street side, and all mails will be received and 
unloaded here. The building cost $8,000,000 and was 
eleven years in course of erection. 

The U. S. District Court and the U. S. Circuit Court 
are in the building. The collector of customs also has his 
office here ; the U. ^S. Marshal and several other govern- 
ment officials. The U. S. Signal Service Department has 
rooms in the dome. There are elevators in the building 
and visitors should not fail to ascend the dome and take a 
bird's eye view of the city. 



EXPOSITION BUILDING. 




The Exposition Building sits on the site of the old 
Missouri Park. It covers two full squares, fronting on 
Olive, St. Charles, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets, and 
is a beautiful piece of modern architecture. It is one of 
the largest buildings in the country used for exposition pur- 
poses, built of pressed brick and stone ; it has three large 
and imposing entrances on Olive Street and a half dozen 
others on the side streets. The main floor, three galleries 
and the basement are given up to exhibits. In the very 
center of the structure and concealed by it is the Grand 
Music Hall, which will have a seating capacity of nearly 
5000 persons. The Exposition Building was formally dedi- 
cated to the public on the night of Sept. 3, 1884, when there

COTTON EXOHAISTGE. 



St. Louis has a Cotton Exchange befitting its impor- 
tance as the largest interior cotton mart in the country. The 
Exchange building was completed and inaugurated last 
year. It is of stone and pressed brick, five stories high, 
and cost $150,000. It is situated at the southwest corner 
of Main and Walnut streets and occupies one-fourth of the 
entire block. The Exchange hall, which is 76x50 feet and 
35 feet high, and the offices and reading room, are in the 
second story. The hall is finely equipped, and cotton men 
pronounce the Exchange the finest of the kind in the 
United States. St. Louis did a business in 1882 of 500,000 
bales out of a total cotton crop of 6,500,000 bales. 



CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. 



It is nauseating to make continual boasts, but in the case 
of the Chamber of Commerce building, the acknowledge- 
ment is made by everybody that it is the finest structure in 
the world, devoted to business purposes of this kind. It is 
a grand structure of polished stone, six stories in height, and 
with a deep and extensive basement. It is located upon 
Third street, extending from Pine to Chestnut and covering 
half the block. The front on Third street is 223 feet and 
the depth 187 feet. The site cost $561,700, and the 
building nearly $1,000,000. The Merchants' Exchange

COURT HOUSE. 




All distances in the city are reckoned from the Court 
House, which occupies the square between Fourth street 
and Broadway, Market and Chestnut streets. For purposes 
of convenience it is considered the center of the city. It is 
a noble structure with four wings and a great iron dome, 
something after the style of the Capitol at Washington. 
The interior of the dome is highly ornamented and there 



56 Police Guide and Directory of St. Louis. 

are beautiful oil paintings, executed by an eccentric but 
excellent artist named Wimar. The building was begun 
in 1852 and completed ten years later at a cost of $1,200,000. 
The dome rises to a height of nearly 300 feet above the 
street level, and is reached by a spiral iron staircase. 
Visitors rarely fail to ascend to the gallery at the top of the 
dome, from which a splendid view of the city and surround- 
ing country may be had on a fine day. By applying to the 
janitor before 4 p. m, access may be had to the dome- 



FOUR COURTS A^D JAIL. 

The Four Courts, which somebody says, "is archi- 
tecturally modeled after the Palace of the Louvre," is 
built of cream sandstone, and is one of the hand- 
somest pieces of architecture in the West. It was 
completed in 1871, and cost $750,000. The building, 
which occupies the block bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth 
and Spruce streets and Clark avenue, has a front of 330 
feet on the last named street, with a depth of 75 feet, to 
which is added a semi-circular Jail in the rear. It is three 
stories high, and divided into five sections, consisting of 
a central section adorned with columns and surrounded by 
a large rectangular dome, two cupola divisions at the ends 
and the received portion between these. The amphithe- 
atre reached by passing through the main building forms 
the Jail, which is a shell of iron of the most approved 
pattern. The Jail is open to visitors from 3 to 5 o'clock 
p. M., daily, when the prisoners may be seen taking their 
exercise.

In the Four Courts building are the Criminal Court, 
the Court of Criminal Correction, the Police Courts, the 
Grand Jury Rooms, the offices of the Circuit and Prose- 
cuting Attorneys, of the Chief of Police, City Marshal and 
Sheriff. The Central Police Station also has its office 
here, and there is a Calaboose in the basement. The Dead 
Animal Contractor's office is on the Eleventh street side of 
the building, and the Coroner's office can be found at the 
corner of Eleventh street and Clark avenue. 

At the corner of Twelfth and Spruce streets is the 
Morgue, where the bodies of unidentified dead persons are 
exposed for three days. The Morgue is open day and 
night while any body is on view. 

Behind the Morgue is the gallows used for executions, 
and adjoining it on the Twelfth street side is a stable where 
the hoodlum wagon may be seen. 

The Four Courts is two blocks north of the Union 
Depot, on Twelfth street. 

THE POLICE. 

The reputation of the St. Louis police is not surpassed 
by any force in the country. They are " one of the finest." 
The Metropolitan Police force numbers about five hundred 
men. There is a chief, who, in conjunction with the Board 
of Police Commissioners, composed of four citizens and the 
Mayor, has control of the entire force. Under the Chief 
are six Captains and forty-five Sergeants. In addition 
to the regular patrolmen, there are a dozen detectives, 
as efficient and astute as any in the United States, who 
are under a sergeant or chief, and to whom is confided 
the secret woi"k of the department. The patrolmen are 
changed at 11 a. m. and lip. m., the day force going on 



POLKK GUIDK AND DiRKCTORY OF St. LOUIS. 61 

their beats at the former hour, the night force at the latter 
hour. There is no permanent division of the men into 
night and day patrohiien, each officer doing day duty for 
three months, at the end of which time he takes a three 
months turn at night duty. 

The city is splendidly policed considering its magni- 
tude, and the limited appropriation for the purpose. No 
complaint comes save from the western suburbs where a 
large outlying territory is under the protection of a few 
mounted patrolmen. 

The headquarters of the Police Department is at the 
Four Courts. Here is the Chief's office, and here also are 
the offices and rooms of the Detectives, the Rogues' Gal- 
lery, the Police Commissioners' headquarters, and the office 
of the Central Police District. 

At this station, as at others, the patrol or " hoodlum" 
wagon can be seen. It facilitates the removal of offenders 
from the streets to the station house, in which district the 
otTense was committed. The mode of operation is this : The 
city is dotted with patrol boxes, small, round, green 
concerns looking like the old sentinel boxes. In each of 
these boxes is a telephone communicating with Police 
Headquarters and the district stations. All police have 
keys to the box, and so have many private citizens. When 
an arrest is made from any cause, fighting, drinking, or 
murder, or any other violation of the law, the patrolman 
goes to the nearest box, telephones the station, and in a 
few minutes th6 wagon comes carrying as many officers as 
the occasion requires, and the prisoner is put in and hurried 
away. By this arrangement the patrolman is not required 
to leave his beat in making an arrest. 

Strangers in need of any information should always 
address themselves to the police.

EVERY DAY OFFENSES AGAINST THE LAW. 

A stranger in a large city is apt to oflend against laws 
of which he is ignorant. For this reason I have made a 
list of the offenses wliich he is liable to commit unwilling- 
ly. All these are punishable by fines, and in some cases, 
as in that of carrying concealed weapons, the fine is very 
heavy. The following are all offenses against the law : 

Fast driving on the street. 

Riding or driving an animal with bell or bells. 

Driving a sleigh without bells. 

Playing ball or indulging in any other sport on the 
street that may frighten horses. 

Driving fast over the big bridge. 

Representing one's self as an officer of the law. 

Resisting or interfering with an officer. 

Disturbing the peace by loud noises. 

Rude or indecent behavior in or near a house of wor- 
ship. 

Loitering on street corners. 

Refusing to " move on " for a police officer. 

Turning on a false alarm of fire. 

Ringing a bell, or sounding other instrument to attract 
attention to an auction or anything else. 

Serenading in the street. 

Carrying concealed weapons, billy, slungshot, revol- 
ver, and lead or brass knuckles. 

Drunk on the street. 

Swimming in the river or any city pond. 

Putting advertisements on property without the own- 
er's consent. 

Tying horse to lamp- post. 

Frequenting a bawdy house, or being found in a house 
of ill-repute.

CITY HALL. 

The City Hall is a plain three-story brick building, on 
Eleventh, between Chestnut and Market streets, which the 
principal officers of the Municipal Government are occu- 
pying only temporarily. The building has been in existence 
many years, and may have to serve its purpose many more, 
as no move has yet been made for a new structure ; still the 
fact remains that this unattractive shell of a building is not 
meant to last forever, but will be replaced some time with 
a City Hall, of which the city may be proud. 

Both branches of the Municipal Assembly have their 
halls here ; the Mayor's office is in the building, with the 
offices of the Comptroller, Auditor, Collector, Register, 
Water Rates Commissioner, Board of Health and its 
officers, and indeed all the departments of the local govern-

UNIOK MAEKET— OTHER MARKETS. 




The principal public market of St. Louis is located on 
the square bounded by Broadway, Sixth street, Christy 
avenue and Morgan, 7 blocks north of the Court House. 
A large and handsome structure of brick and iron covers 
over half the square, and is given up to the butchers, while 
the remainder of the space is sheltered by substantial sheds, 
where hucksters peddle vegetables, fruit, fowl, butter, eggs, 



72 Police Guide and Directory op St. Louis. 

etc. The market always presents a busy scene, but on 
Saturday afternoon and evening it is thronged. Union 
Market has been in existence about fifteen years. An effort 
was made recently to have it condemned and torn down, 
but the movement did not succeed. 

The French Market is on South Fourth street between 
Chouteau avenue and Convent street. 

The Round-top Market is on Broadway between Biddle 
and O'Fallon streets. 

Biddle Market is on Twelfth street between Biddle and 
O'Fallon. 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 

There are over 100 buildings in St. Louis devoted to 
the public school purposes. In 1853 there were but three 
primary and grammar schools in the city. Now there are 
seventy-four, and in addition there are High and Normal 
schools. The school system of the city is regarded as equal 
to that of any other large city in the United States, and the 
Kindergarten feature of it is the model for the whole 
country. The schools are controlled by an elected Board 
of Directors, one being chosen from each ward. This 
Board elects a Superintendent and other officers, who 
attend to the details of school management. 

The Normal school, which every year graduates two 
score of young teachers, is located in the Polytechnic 
building at Seventh and Chestnut. This building origin- 
ally cost Washington University nearly $500,000. It is now 
the property of the School Board. 

The Superintendent's office, the Board rooms and 
various offices, together with the Public School Library, 
are also in the Polytechnic. 




CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. 



The Central High School is located on the northeast 
corner of Fifteenth and Olive streets. 

For information regarding teachers or pupils inquire at 
the Superintendent's office, Seventh and Chestnut. 

If you w^ant to find the location of any of the grammar 
schools look in the city directory under the head of Public 
Schools. 



PUBLIC STAI^DS. 

The principal hack stands are at the Court House 
Square and at Union Depot. 

Express and baggage wagon stands may be found at 
the Union Depot, Seventh street between Locust and St. 
Charles and on Wash street, between Sixth and Broadway. 

Furniture cars may be found at Second and Almond, 
Eleventh and St. Charles, Locust and Twelfth; Twelfth, 
between Washington avenue and Locust; Thirteenth, 
between Market and Clark avenue; Biddle, between Fifth 
and Eighth streets. 

Express hand-cart stands are numerous in the central 
portion of the city, and may be found every few blocks. 

The coal stands are chieffy on Twelfth street, between 
Market and St. Charles streets. 

The hay stand is on Cass avenue, between Broadway 
and Ninth. 

The chief stand for cord wood is at the Round-Top 
Market, Broadway and O'Fallon street. 



FAili GEOUJ^DS A^D ZOOLOGICAL 
GARDEN. 

The Fair Grounds, which inckide the Zoological 
Garden, are situated on Grand avenue, between the Natural 
Bridge Road and Kossuth avenue, and lie three and one- 
half miles northwest of the Court House. They embrace 
83 acres, beautifully laid out in walks and drives, and where 
handsomely designed buildings are not dotting the ground^ 
spreading shade trees, cool fountains or small lakes afford 
the visitor deliglit. The great Fair occurs here during the 
first week of each October, and on the Tuesday night of this 
week the famous Veiled Prophets give their gorgeous street 
pageant. Near the centre of the grounds is the Amphi- 
theatre, the largest in the United States, which comfortably 
seats 25,000 in sight of the Arena, and can accommodate 
25,000 on the promenade in the rear of the seats, from 
which space also all parts of the ring are visible. Horses 
are speeded in this ring, and cattle exhibited in the contests 
for premiums. 

Under the management of Mr. Charles Green, Presi- 
dent of the Fair Association, the grounds have been beau- 
tified and improved to a surprising extent. The magnificent 
new entrance of brick and cut stone at the southeast corner 
of the grounds is one of his improvements, and there are 
many others, which have made the place the great pleasure 
resort of ladies and children ever since Mr. Green assumed 
the management.

78 Police Guide and Dirkctory of St. Louis. 

The Zoological Gardens within the grounds inckide 
the rarest types of wild and domestic animals. The earth, 
the air and the sea contribute their most curious creatures 
to the collection, which is not surpassed anywhere this side 
of Europe. Each class has a building set apart for itself, 
the carnivora or flesh-devouring beasts having their own 
quarters ; the monkeys, theirs ; the bears, theirs ; the birds 
a place of their own, and so on. These buildings are 
finished in the highest style of modern architecture, and are 
of brick and stone. They are equal to the buildings to be 
seen in the Royal Zoological Garden of England. 

The Grounds and Gardens are open all the year round. 
The admission fee is twenty-five cents. The Cass avenue, 
Locust street, red cars on Pine street, the Franklin avenue, 
and Jefferson avenue cars all carry passengers to the main 
gate for five cents. 




Turkish Pagoda, Shaw's Garden. 

Shaw's Botanical Garden is yet private property, but 
the public are allowed access to it every day in the year 
except Sunday. It is owned by Mr. Henry Shaw, the 
millionaire, who has spent thirty years and thousands of 
dollars in bringing it to its present degree of beauty and 
perfection. The Garden, also known as the Missouri 
Botanical Garden, has an area of fifty-four acres, and is 
situated on Tower Grove, between Shaw and Magnolia 
avenues. Its hot-houses and conservatories contain the 
rarest flowers that the earth produces. The flora of the 
world is represented within its walls, all so charmingly 
arranged that the visitor walks as if in a fairy bower, and 



p

with a few steps, spans a whole zone and breathes all the 
clhnates of the flower-producing world. Oranges, lemons, 
bananas and figs are seen growing, and the stately palm 
rises beside the most rare, while rubber trees, century plants 
and other curious products are among the number of var- 
ieties. It is regarded as the finest garden in the world. 

Mr. Shaw will eventually make the Garden the property 
of the city. 

It may be reached by the Lafayette Park cars on Fourth 
street, the Gravois Road line on Pine street, or the Market 
street, from the terminus of each of which a 'bus must be 
taken. The fare each way is twenty-five cents. 

FOREST PARK 

Forest Park is 4 J miles due west from the Court House. 
It has a frontage of one mile on King's Highway, and a 
depth westwardly in parallel lines of 2 miles. It is the 
principal park of the city. The Wabash Road runs regular 
trains daily to the park, and it can be reached by the West 
End Narrow Gauge Road, also, which has its depot on 
Olive street just west of Grand avenue. The Forest Park 
and Lindell Boulevards, which are fashionable drives, 
connect the resort with the heart of the city. The former is 
150 feet wide and the latter 194 feet wide. If the visitor 
can afford it he should hire a carriage and make the trip to 
and from the Park by way of these boulevards. 

Forest Park was established in 1875 and is not yet com- 
pleted. It comprises 1371 acres, and although the gardener's 
art has not given its beautifying touches to this entire 
immense area, the rolling ground, the winding streams, the 
rustic bridges, the pagodas, summer-houses and thousand 



Police Guide and Directory of St. Louis. 83 

and one othei" little spots of interest present a combination 
of scenery that is absolutely lovely to look upon. One lake 
covers 50 acres ; the drives are nicely laid out, and refresh- 
ments may be had at a restaurant within the park. 

TOWER GEOVE PARK 

Adjoining Shaw's Garden is Tower Grove Park, 
covering 276 acres, charmingly laid out, which Mr. Henry 
Shaw presented to the city several years ago, after he had 
lavished a fortune in making it one of the most beautiful 
parks in the country. There ai'e handsome and imposing en- 
trances to the park, and within are numerous rare deciduous 
and evergreen trees. It has fountains, statues, artificial 
lakes, rivulets, ornamental bridges, shrubbery, flowers, an 
evergreen labyrinth, summer-houses, pagodas and shade 
trees of infinite variety. There is a promenade and a 
music stand, where on certain days of the summer season 
concerts are given. The park is reached by 'bus from 
Shaw's Garden, and the programme of a day's pleasure in 
this direction generally includes a trip from the garden to 
the park. Tower Grove Park can be reached by either 
the Fourth street or Pine street Gravois line. Fare five 
cents. 

LAFAYETTE PARK. 

This is one of the pretty little "breathing spots," 
almost in the heart of the city. It is a charming resort, 
and on summer days when the sun is shining, nurses with 
tiny children, young ladies with their lovers and whole 
families may be seen filling its benches or thronging the 
beautiful walks which have been laidj out amid perfect

labyrinths of flowers. Lafayette Park is situated between 
Park, Lafayette. Mississippi and Missouri avenues, and 
lies one and one-half miles southwest of the Court-house. 
It is nearly square and contains thirty acres all highly im- 
proved. Every inch of its ground has been given as much 
beauty as art could give it, and it is difficult to imagine 
that there is completed a finer small park anywhere. Its 
location is in the midst of a magnificent residence district, 
and being located near the summit of a rising ground, the 
breezes from north, south and west fan its leaves and cool 
the brow of the citizen who sits beneath its trees. On 
Sundays the park is thronged by young and old folks, and 
on Thursdays in summer, when concerts are given in the 
afternoon, the attendance is large and fashionable. 

In the middle of the park is a miniature lake, equipped 
with row-boats, which are rented, or in which children 
can take a ride under the care of experienced oarsmen. 
There are summer-houses, rustic bridges and all the usual 
artificial embellishments in the inclosures, a police station 
and statues of Geo. Washington and Thomas H. Benton, 
the great Missouri statesman. To reach the park take the 
blue line on Washington avenue, which will carry you to 
Schnaider's Garden, two blocks north of the park, or the 
yellow cars on Fourth street, or the Gravois Road line on 
Pine street. Fare five cents. 

O'FALLOT^ PARK 

Three and one-fourth miles northwest of the Court- 
House and a short distance north of the Fair Grounds lies 
O'Fallon Park, which was the residence of the late Col. 
John O'Fallon, after whom it was named. It is between 
the Bellefontaine road and Florissant avenue, and as it is 



Police Guide and Dikectory of St. Louis. 85 

only a little south of Bellefontaine cemetery, should be 
included in the points of interest visited on the way to or 
from the cemetery. O'Fallon Park is located on a high 
bluff and commands a fine view of the river and Illinois 
on the east. It is artistically laid. There are 160 acres 
included in its area, and these are divided into beautiful 
natural groves, artificial flower beds and fine drives. The 
park can be reached by the Broadway cars and the Baden 
extension. Fare each way fifteen cents. 

BEI^TOl^ PAEK 

Two miles south of the Court-House lies a stretch of 
ground that up to a few years ago was anything but beau- 
tiful. It was formerly used for Potter's field, and during 
the cholera epidemic of I860-66 it was filled with the re- 
mains of victims of the scourge. This is now Benton 
Park, one of the prettiest and most popular resorts in the 
city. It is situated just west of the old Arsenal grounds, 
now Lyon Park, and contains fourteen acres. It is reached 
by the Broadway cars. Fare five cents. 

MIJ^OE PAEKS. 

The park system of St. Louis is very extensive, com- 
prising over 2,110 acres and embracing improvements 
valued at $3,700,000. Besides those treated of in detail 
there are a number of smaller parks, all beautiful, but so 
scattered that it is hardly possible to include them all in a 
sight-seeing tour. They are given here with location, size 
and the easiest way to reach them from the Court House.

BASE BALL PARKS. 

The National Base Ball League had its origin in St. 
Louis and was organized by enterprising, but sport-loving, 
citizens. It is not surprising, therefore, that St. Louis is a 
great base ball town, or that it can call out as many 
" cranks," or enthusiasts, to a good game as any other city 
on the continent. The National game flourishes here, and 
there are several parks devoted to it.

STOCK YARDS. 

In discussing the commerce and trade of St. Louis, I 
have pointed out the importance of the live stock business 
in St. Louis. To accommodate this trade there are two exten- 
sive stock yards, the National and the Union. 

The National Stock Yards are in East St. Louis, 
about one and one-half miles west of the river, and con- 
nected by a 'bus line with the eastern approach of the 
bridge. They are nicely situated and not subject to the 
occasional inundations from the overflow of the Mississippi. 
The yards embrace over 650 acres, 100 of which are 
enclosed and GC under shed. The grounds are laid out in 
blocks with paved avenues, upon each of which is one mile 
of cattle pens. By an elaborate system of mains and pipes 
water is distributed all over the grounds from the tank 
house, with a capacity of 600,000 gallons, on a neighboring 
creek. The cattle capacity of the yards is 20,000 head. 
The capacity of the covered hog house is 20,000 ; of the 
sheep house 10,000 head. The stable, 285 feet long, is 
fitted with stalls for 300 head, and the barns hold 2,200 
tons of hay and 30,000 bushels of corn. The pork packing 
houses at the yards can kill 12,000 hogs a day, and the St. 
Louis Beef Canning Company, also located here, has a 
capacity of 1,000 head of cattle daily. The Allerton 
House, a spacious and handsome hotel, is located upon the 
grounds, and has among its guests, at all times, buyers 
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts- 
burg, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville and other 
interior points. 

The Union Stock Yards are on the St. Louis side of 
the river, near the foot of North Market street. They 
cover an area of twenty-four acres, and their capacity is 
about one-third that of the National Yards. 



MISSOUEI EEPUBI^IOAI^ BUILDING. 




The Repuhlicafi building, at the southeast corner of 
Third and Chestnut, is one of the handsomest structures in 
the city. It is built entirely of iron in the chaste and 
Italian style of architecture, and is richly, but tastefully, 
ornamented on both the Chestnut and Third street fronts. 
Its height is five stories with a mansard roof. The Missouri 
Republican occupies the lower and upper floors, the

editorial and composing rooms being at the top of the house, 
and the rapid perfecting presses, on which the paper is 
printed, in the basement. The Republican dates back to 
July 12, 1808, when the Missouri Gazette^ of which it is a 
continuation was founded. The ?ix%\. Republican was issued 
Sept. 3, 1836. The old office was on Chestnut St., between 
Main and Second, in the building now used for the Central 
Sub-Police Station. A more imposing building occupied 
this site fifteen years ago, but was destroyed by fire. Twice 
in its career the Republican has been tackled by the fire 
fiend, and each time lost but one day's issue of the paper. 



WASHll^GTON UNIYEESITY. 

This is a flourishing institute of learning. It is located 
on Washington avenue, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth 
streets, and is now in its twenty-seventh year. There are 
several buildings, and the total value of the property is 
over $1,000,000. Its departments are numerous; they 
embrace the classics, science, law, art and designing, a 
school of mines and a manual training school. An 
academic department is connected with tlie University, and 
there is also the female academy, known as the Mary 
Institute, which is of the highest rank. Mary Institute is 
located on the corner of Twenty-seventh and Locust 
streets. The Law School is on Lucas Place (Locust 
street) just west of Fourteenth. The Manual Training 
School is on Eighteenth and Washington avenue, and is 
considered the on!}' successful school of the kind in the 
United States. The Washington avenue yellow cars pass 
the door? of the University. 

ST. LOUIS U^TjVEESITY. 

This is the Jesuits' College, at Ninth and Washington 
avenue, immediately adjoining St. Xavier's church. It is 
the oldest college west of the Mississippi, and has a splen- 
did reputation throughout the entire Western country. 
Many of the best citizens of St. Louis have graduated 
from its halls. The grounds cover an entire square, and 
the series of buildings include the University Hall, one of 
the largest lecture halls in the city. In this same building 
is the University Library, which is very extensive and con- 
tains some rare and valuable volumes. The Jesuits have 
advertised the Washington avenue property for sale, and 
will build a new church and college west of Grand avenue 
within the next few years. 



CHEISTIAE^ BEOTHERS^ COLLEGE. 




The new College of the Christian Brothers is situated 
on Easton avenue, opposite the Cote Brilliante Race Track. 
It is not yet complete. The building at present occupied is 
the main edifice, to which wings of large dimensions will 
be added in time. The structure is a beautilul and attrac- 
tive one, and as it stands on a hill can be seen for a great 
distance. The Brothers' old college was at Eighth and 
Cerre streets, adjoining McDowell's College. Both build- 
ings have been torn down to make room for railroad and 
other improvements in that neighborhood. To reach the 
new college take the Franklin avenue cars and their Cote 
Brilliante extension.
